From the reviews
Thanks to Jo Matzner's Sitting Ballet class at Kehl School of Dance my daughter who has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair and crutches to get around can take ballet, just like her friends at school. She absolutely loves the class and is very proud to tell people that she takes ballet and will even be in a recital.
I moved to this dance studio this year. They have really nice studios and welcoming teachers, and students. I was very nervous to switch studios but I found this studio very welcoming and they have a great variety of dance classes to choose from.
I recently took an Adult Ballet class at the Open House, as I am hoping to take classes this fall. Kristin was the instructor, and she was so fantastic; everything I would want in a teacher! She went at the perfect pace, was extemely knowledgeable and patient, and was also very graceful and amazing.
I love dancing at Kehl! I have grown so much over the years not only as a dancer but as a person, everyone is so friendly. And the teachers are all committed to their job. Mrs.JoAnn is an amazing teacher not only for ballet.
Your first ballet class at Kehl School of Dance
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
